I have good reason to believe that at least some are about the SI original post. Mine was not abusive, it was polite, if direct. I did expect the courtesy of a brief reply. Not to get one was a big disappointment to me.

People who work in noble causes often think that they themselves are ennobled. But this must be earned by their own actions, not their words. Sometimes we are called to make a stand. Those who do, do and take the consequences. Then there are those who simply don't act, for whatever practical reason, and they can be difficult. Are they evil? No. Could they do better? Yes.

I have lived a long life and seen this time and again. It is not pretty, especially among those who are younger than I am. I think I will leave it at that.
